I never thought much of him as a kid but he grew on me as time went by. And once he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, my fondness ramped up.
But I wrote years ago that this song has, in my very humble opinion, the two greatest lines in history.
And I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.
Pure poetry.
And who would have ever thought you could write a love song from the perspective of a county worker?
